Problem Description:

APPENDIX A: ABC BLENDER OPERATION

A1: Operation

The ABC models features an interlock safety switch that prevents the unit from

operating unless the sound enclosure is completely shut. To operate the ABC,

press the desired button. A red LED will light up above the button selected and

will remain lit until another button is selected or the button is touched a second

time during operation. The machine will start the blending cycle once the sound

enclosure lid has been closed. Touching any button during the motor operation

will stop the blender and de-select the button. Touching the “P” (Pulse) button

when the sound enclosure lid is open will deselect all programs. The sound

enclosure lid can then be closed without starting a cycle.

A2: Interlock Modes

Automatic Interlock Mode: Equipment is shipped with this selection installed.

In this mode the motor will not operate unless the sound enclosure lid is

closed. The selected program (as indicated by the lighted program button on

the touchpad) will start automatically each time the sound enclosure is closed

unless the lighted button is pushed again to de-select the program. To restore

this interlock mode from either Safety or Manual mode, press the “P – 1 – 3”

buttons in quick succession.

Safety Mode: In this mode, the motor will not operate unless the

sound enclosure is closed. The motor will not automatically start when the

enclosure is closed. A button must be pushed each time the operator wishes

to start a drink cycle. To select this mode from Automatic Interlock or Manual

mode, press “5 – 1 – 3” in quick succession.

Manual Mode: In this mode, the safety interlock is disabled and the blender

motor will start any time a button is pressed. To select this mode from

Automatic Interlock or Safety mode, press the “4 – 1 – 3” buttons in quick

succession.
